I'm having this really annoying issue where every time I go to the bathroom, my anus gets super itchy. It's so bad that I find it really hard not to scratch it. Why is it so itchy and what can I do to stop it?

View allmy doctor said I have an old healed fissure and surgery isn't needed but I'm not sure what that really means does it still cause problems or is it completely fine now
It's understandable to be unsure when a doctor advises against surgery. While surgery is often a last resort for chronic anal fissures, most cases can be managed with conservative treatments like lifestyle changes and medications.

I've been having black stool before and during my periods for about the last five months. Is this normal, or could it be a sign of some internal issues? I'm a bit worried and would love some guidance.
Black stool before and during periods is not typical and may indicate gastrointestinal bleeding or issues like endometriosis affecting the bowel. I recommend consulting a doctor for evaluation, including stool tests or a scan, to rule out any underlying concerns.
